MY LIFE-LONG AND HONORED FRIEND, 
JOHN LANGDON SIBLEY, 

LIBRARIAN EMERITUS OF HARVARD COLLEGE, 

THIS MEMORY OF A SUMMER'S VACATION 
IS INSCRIBED. 



~T) LOCK ISLAND, named for the Dutch explorer, 
^^ Adrian Block, is in latitude 41 08' North, and lon- 
gitude 71 33' West. It is distant southwest from Newport 
about thirty miles, and north of east from Montauk, the 
easterly end of Long Island, about eighteen miles. 

It was first described in the year 1524 by the French 
navigator, Verrazzano. In 16 14 it was visited by Block, 
who gave it its present name. In 1636 the Boston trader, 
John Oldham, while at anchor in its harbor, was killed by 
the Indians. Colonel John Endicott was soon afterwards 
sent by the General Court of Massachusetts to punish the 
offenders. He landed upon the Island and thoroughly 
accomplished his object. In 1658 the Island was granted 
to Gov. Endicott, Deputy Governor Richard Bellingham, 
Major General Daniel Dennison and Major William 
Hathorne, who in turn sold it in 1660 to Doctor John 
Alcock of Roxbury and his associates. 

The year 1662 witnessed the first white settlement of the 
Island by a company from Boston and Taunton. 

The old Cemetery from which the inscriptions on the 
following pages were taken is situated on the westerly side 



of a hill overlooking the Great Salt Pond. Many of its 
graves are marked simply by round field stones gathered 
from the neighborhood. 

Most of the older inscribed stones are of slate, orna- 
mented with the conventional winged skull and scroll 
borders, precisely like many in the sea-board towns of the 
mainland. These stones were undoubtedly imported from 
England already ornamented, and were lettered by a 
skilled hand in this country. A few of the stones are 
from the sandstone quarries of Connecticut, and these 
are generally devoid of ornamentation. 

It is believed that exact copies of the inscriptions of all 
the stones antedating 1800 will be found in these pages.

Robert Guthrig was Town Clerk in 1675, and probably the 
same Mr. Robart Guttereg, or Guttrig, was freeman of the 
colony in 1684, and died in 1692. The surname is a cor- 
ruption of Goodrich, a family numerous in Connecticut at 
that time.

James Sands, with wife Sarah, though not in the first com- 
pany, was of the Island early enough to participate in first 
division of lands. He was a freeman in 1655, and was Repre- 
sentative in 1678, 1680, and 1690. He had sons, John, James, and 
Samuel, who settled at Cowneck, L.I., Edward, and Job, and 
daughters, Sarah (who married Nathaniel Niles) and Mercy 
(who married Joshua Raymond). His wife Sarah died before 
July 6, 1702. 

Captain John Sands and James Sands, Jr., were freemen of 
the Island in 1684.

Edward Sands was the youngest son of James, the first
